You were trumpeting your support of Ron Paul a few days ago. That was why I brought it up.
And it isn't meant to be a slam at you specifically. More at the internet groundswell that seems to be viewing Ron Paul as the great hope for the future.
The "cherry picking of personal interests" opinion is a bit strange. I agree that voting for a candidate because of a single issue can be a disaster, but everyone has different priorities, and just because this isn't a priority for you doesn't make it pet topic for someone else.
As for the money aspect, he has voted against bills on Stem cells whether there was any federal money involved or not.
I respect many of Ron Paul's views, and find his opinions refreshing. Too bad there aren't more candidates like him.
